IPTC Keywords import does not work for me

[piotr_tarnowski]

Hi,

I use digikam 0.9.2-final compiled from source tar on Debian Etch.
With copy keywords to IPTC enabled I tag JPG image, copy it outside of
my photo albums directory (using external tool), rename and import.

After that newly imported image has no tags (IPTC tab shows that
keyowrds are there but no tag is checked).

Is this a digikam bug, pending feature or my misunderstanding?

Thanks,
Piotr Tarnowski

Piotr,

Send me your picture in private. I will take a look...

Question : when you said IPTC, are you talking about IPTC/IIM or IPTC/XMP ? Witch program have you used to enter iptc tags on your picture ?

Gilles,

I made following test (all with the same photo which was tagged by
DigiKam itself):

1) drug-and-drop from konqueror - FAILED! no tag goes to keywords
2) import - FAILED! no tag goes to keywords
3) copy (using konqueror) to album's directory when digikam is running -
FAILED! no tag goes to keywords
4) copy (using konqueror) to album's directory when digikam is _not_
running, then "scan for new photo" - SUCCESS! tags are converted to
keywords

Piotr,

I have take a look with your picture. Nothing is special in your IPTC data: all is fine.

I have performed 1), 2), and 3), and all work fine here. tags are imported automaticly in database. The picture is detected properlly...

But i use digiKam 0.9.3-beta1 on my computer... Can you try with this version or get svn source code ?

Marcel,

The dysfunction sound like something wrong in digikam KIO slave ? Witch conditions need to be resolved to have a fine auto-detection of new files on a computer ? I thinking especially about a deamon running in background to follow directory changes with KDE api.

We using KDirLister class to perform this task, but current doc do not give more information about how is done the job exactly...
